This is not the mistake on case title only but it amounts to adding the name of the party.

Whether same mistake was done in issuing notice , if yes than no amendment possible.

If no than you can try but other party will oppose and the matter may go to revision on this issue alone.

I Thank all my colleages for replying to my query. While issuing notice to the Accused, firm was not made as party.

If cheque was issue by firm, firm must be a party .

Advocate Defense has already indicated that if the Firm was not included while issuing notice, then amendment is not possible to include the Firm's name in the complaint.
